Scary… hoping nobody’s thinking of leaping across!
This is a very fancy airshaft… probably an impossible meeting of walls. Most are just four-sided.
…
A very young couple I knew, years ago, had moved to San Francisco from Texas, and not knowing the City, rented a little 4th floor apartment, in a not great neighborhood…
A few nights later, they were having dinner in their kitchen, which had a window to the airshaft, and a foot and leg came in and started to step onto the table.
They yelled, and the leg went back out…. they looked out the window and could see no signs of the person.
….
I think I would have wanted to move back to Texas…
but they stayed… and they never had that problem again.
You’ll have to bounce around, but you can find a lot of his work on the web.
His photography techniques vary but the results are always interesting.
He is a Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation resident.
As I have found stranger things that work for me to get around around WordPress’ programming I’ve posted the YouTube U.R.L. for Pete Beard’s video you posted (which worked just fine for me / thanks for posting it; again I got more out of it than just the history lesson ).
Mickey Mouse had roots to his predecessor, Felix the Cat.
I’ve copied, pasted and entered the video U.R.L. from this comment to an address bar, and with the exception of the YouTube ad block (bloc?), no problems.
I hope it works for you.

Thanks to StelBel and nighhawks, a number of the inclusions will be familiar if you watch the video.
great idea!–like racing cars, the competitions will have to slow down
for those sharp corners, testing who is not just the fastest, but the
best at braking and cornering
I knew this was Toronto the moment I saw the streetcar.
Toronto’s are unique as far as I know. Any other streetcars I’ve seen in real life or in photographs just simply aren’t Toronto’s design.
The description of the photograph:
Heading Home In The Snowstorm
“Queen street west near University Ave.,Toronto with the approaching streetcar during snowstorm.”
by: Alfred Ng
The attachment is a little less snowy view from a snip from “Google Street View.”
2 cups flour (all purpose, sifted before measuring)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup shortening (Mum always used Crisco Vegetable Shortening, but lard works equally well)
2 eggs beaten (medium)
1/2 cup light cream (scant) or milk (Mum always used light cream – 10% milk fat—) (“scant” is about a tablespoon short of a full 1/2 cup)
Sift together all dry ingredients.
Cut in shortening with pastry blender or two knives. (The dough should look like peas)
Break eggs into cup and beat, add liquid and stir.
Pour into dry ingredients and mix lightly and quickly.
Pat or roll out (1/2 to 3/4 inch thick) and cut into biscuits. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375-400 deg. F. (On the second oven rack. Top rack is first.)
Delicious served warm, well buttered. (BUTTERED!!)
Or with gravy, of course.
Notes from me:
Light cream is also known as 1/2 & 1/2 cream.
Keep a close eye on them from the 8 minute mark so they don’t burn.
And this is me until Thursday.

So, I suppose Claude thinks his phone gets lighter when he deletes all those pictures, too.
.
Dunno what I did, but I can’t edit or delete it!
Your font is different in that comment, too… weird.
I don’t know how you did that!
All I see wrong is a double word… but if you really want to delete it… which might delete your subsequent comment and this one… which is OK…
Try going up to the very top of the comments, beneath the top comment field….
….
There’s a comment count, ie, right now it says “14 Comments”, with a line underneath it.
To the right of the number, there’s an icon of a generic person with a tiny settings wheel…
,,,
Click it, and you’ll see a list of your comments, most recent first (a little known secret of these pages).
Each has a trash can icon… you may be able to delete it there.
…
BTW that’s also where you control subscriptions and follows.
Just click outside the box to close it.
I can’t find that icon…..
I hope the attachment helps.
Click on it to make it legible.
Neat! Thanks Alexi, never knew this one!
Thanks, Alexi. I was looking in the wrong place. I guess I am a ‘visual’ learner. lol
I had found that “panic button” delete trick, but had forgotten it, thanks.
You have to refresh before all the “edit”-functions appear.
That’ll give you vertigo.

Some kind of fruit bat?
NO, no,no!
Here’s an ARTICLE about the picture.
Now THIS is an ”EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW”!
Oh good — at first I thought I was seeing a big tarantula!
horrors, JP! I would never post a picture of such a thing.
oops!
They are waiting for treats.
and some day those siblings will be arguing about who takes care
of their decrepit old mom
Look on the bright side, Claude. At least they aren’t talking about you behind your back.
Yes, yes he is…
I can’t get the 2nd part of that piece on graphic art to play for me. It might work for you.

Great! ♡♡♡
Marge! Great to see you!
welcome!
I just posted a quote from Oscar Wilde a few days ago…
He said “The only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about.”
Remember that Claude…. it’s good to have people who take an interest in you.
Even if they’re a bit critical, it means they know who you are!
…
You don’t toil in obscurity.
Some people struggle to be heard… but your voice is apparently loud and clear.
…
In fact, there are probably at least a few dozen who watch you through this little window on the internet…
watching all the mistakes you make, and the goofy things you do.
But don’t complain…
it’s made you a cartoon star, hasn’t it?
And probably earned you a generous paycheck from Cleo and Company Productions.
Yeah right.
dunno ’bout the ‘cartoon star’ bit, but as you well know, Cleo and Company Productions
is generous with its paychecks to all its contributors
Mine is six figures! (Well, counting the cents.)
And even if they ARE all zeros.
…
And yes, very generous with the paychecks. I get at least one every week!
I have piles of them… they look very nice
I save them, cos the bank says I can’t cash checks for $0,000.00.
going for the record

Training grounds: any mega-store on Black Friday et al.
I want to see the video.
Which record? Fastest time from top of the jungle gym to the ground? Last one to the ER is a monkey’s uncle?

It’s even more fun with ice rain – lovely fireworks, but a bumpy ride (stop-and-go).
How this video came to be, I have no idea, but it gives every indication of being accurate.

Put any type of gravy you want on these.
From: My mother’s cookbook.
“Scotch Cream Scones (a family recipe)”
2 cups flour (all purpose, sifted before measuring)

especially pictures of heavy objects
hahahahaha!
Love Clara’s remark. Poor Claude ~~ so picked on~!!
I’ve just watched the documentary “Woman in Motion”, starring: Nichelle Nichols being herself.
